W3C Launches Agile Track to Speed Web Innovation
15 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9177
[] To support the rapid evolution of Web technology, W3C today
announced Community Groups, an agile track for developers and
businesses to create Web technology within W3C's international
community of experts. Community Groups are open to all, anyone
may propose a group, and there is no fee to participate.
"Innovation and standardization build on each other," said Jeff
Jaffe, W3C CEO. "As the pace of innovation accelerates and more
industries embrace W3C's Open Web Platform, Community Groups
will accelerate incorporation of innovative technologies into
the Web." W3C also launched Business Groups today, which
provide W3C Members and non-Members a vendor-neutral forum for
the development of market-specific technologies and the means
to have a powerful impact on the direction of Web standards.

Last Call: CSS Speech Module
18 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9181
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Last Call Working Draft of "CSS Speech Module." The CSS Speech
module defines aural CSS properties that enable authors to
declaratively control the rendering of documents via speech
synthesis, and using optional audio cues. The feature set
exposed by this specification is designed to match the model
described by the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML)
Version 1.1. Comments are welcome through 30 September. Learn
more about the Style Activity.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition) is a W3C
Recommendation
16 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9180
The SVG Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of
"Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 (Second Edition)." This
specification defines the features and syntax for Scalable
Vector Graphics (SVG) Version 1.1, a modularized language for
describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster
graphics in XML. The Second Edition incorporates a number of
corrections that were published as errata against the First
Edition, as well as numerous other changes that help make the
specification more readable and unambiguous. The Changes
appendix lists all of the changes that were made since the
first Proposed Recommendation publication of the Second
Edition. Learn more about the Graphics Activity.

http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9179

First Draft of Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Profile Published
16 August 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9178
The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published the
First Public Working Draft of "Efficient XML Interchange (EXI)
Profile." Many device classes and use-cases desire to use EXI
as its exchange format. Due to various restrictions some of
those application areas are not capable or allowed to require
arbitrary memory growth at runtime. Certain evaluations of EXI
in the context of such areas exposed some challenges to the
attempt to restrict memory usage predictably within their
limited respective threshold. This document describes a profile
of the EXI 1.0 specification that allows bounding the memory
consumption of EXI internal structures such as grammars and
string partitions. Learn more about the Extensible Markup
Language (XML) Activity.

(Third) W3C Web and TV Workshop
http://www.w3.org/2011/09/webtv/
Hollywood, California
Hosted and Sponsored by Comcast
Following the success of its regional workshops in Tokyo,
Japan and Berlin, Germany, the W3C will host a third
workshop on Web and TV convergence in Hollywood, California
on 19-20 September, 2011. In the previous two workshops,
participants identified opportunities for convergence of
Web and TV infrastructure and began identifying technical
challenges. This third workshop will continue these
efforts, with a particular focus on the needs of content
creators and distributors.

W3C Workshop on Data and Services Integration
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/integration-workshop/
Bedford, MA, USA
Hosted by MITRE
Integration of heterogeneous data and services has always
been a concern for creators and managers of services. With
the emergence of the Web, the need for reusing data and
services has become even stronger as the number of
available services has grown. Different services stacks now
exist from Web Services to Cloud-based services.
The goal of this Workshop is to bring together people with
different ways of looking at the issues left unsolved by
the existing stacks, to investigate the possible paths to
help bridging services built using different paradigms, and
to identify points where standardization would help
integration of services and data.
